RBI has vide its notification dated 12th February, 2015 done away with the requirement of filling and submitting form 1 to the RBI for payment for imports into India exceeding US$5000. The onus is now on the Authorised Dealers to satisfy themselves about the bonafides of the transaction before effecting the remittance.
Hitherto, form 1 was required to be submitted to the authorised dealers for all import payments above US$5,000/-. This is a major step towards liberalisation of the documentary procedures.
The salient features of the said RBI circular is given below:

The salient features of the said RBI circular is given below:
Attention of Authorised Dealer Category – I (AD Category – I) banks is invited to the A.P.(DIR Series) Circular No. 82 dated February 21, 2012 in terms of which applications by persons, firms and companies for making payments, exceeding USD 5,000 or its equivalent towards imports into India must be made in Form A-1.
To further liberalise and simplify the procedure, it has been decided to dispense with the requirement of submitting request in Form A-1 to the AD Category –I Banks for making payments towards imports into India. AD Category –I may however, need to obtain all the requisite details from the importers and satisfy itself about the bonafides of the transactions before effecting the remittance.
